I have this pic in a folder, but I forgot what this plane is called . I figure one of you guys would know. I just remember it is rare.

exactly what I just did. It looks like a Bell 47 and an A-10 made sweet sweet love together.

Apparently it features in that terribad Sci Fi movie that Mark Hamill did after Star Wars. Now I kind of want to watch it.

Super cool. Already IDed, so, I'll just add that I love the observation planes.

like I said , I like weird planes and it seems that design requirements for observers and recon tend to make them strange .

I got a half hour flying one of these from back when they were trying to sell them as alternatives to helicopters to the police. Not exciting as I remember.

Yeah, and I wish I could make money. But I spent a lot of years drawing.

I sort of meant immediately after. but Laserhawk is worthy of being mentioned in terrible Mark Hamill films.

To me, it looked like Rutan or Colani got a hold of a OV-10
